new perspective
the only homework i had that night was the fennel project. of course, i had no way of doing it if it was a partner project and my partner hasn't spoken a word to me. i explained this to dad, and he responded shockingly positive.

you
i've got that figured out.

what's your evil plan?

walker
you're so smart
maeve
this is a whole new person. i love her.
you
thank you, and also thank you.
and don't worry, walker. i'm going to find some way to see you on friday.
